Rick (played by Andrew Lincoln) exited The Walking Dead midseason season nine in order to work on the planned films based on the AMC series.
He was taken off in a helicopter in the season and his destination was left ambiguous.
Fans have mourned his departure from the show and have been speculating when he will return in a capacity.
However, a clue has emerged suggesting they will have more to mourn in the future.
The show is based on the comics and although it does deviate sometimes, the storylines are generally followed or altered slightly.
Now, issue 192 of the comic series has revealed Rick’s death in tragic circumstances.
In the previous issue, Rick was shot in the chest by Sebastian, whose mother Pamela Milton had been at war with Rick.
Commonwealth leader Pamela had instructed her army to attack Rick’s people.
Before the attack went too far, Rick managed to stop it and removed Pamela from power.
This provoked Sebastian to avenge his mother and attacked Rick at night.
